Engine Swaps & Drivetrain Conversions in Sonoma County
West Coast Hot Rods Inc. performs LS swaps, engine swaps and drivetrain conversions for classic cars, muscle cars and custom project vehicles. We help owners choose the right combination of components and make sure the engine, transmission, electrical system and supporting drivetrain work together properly.
Whether you are planning a new conversion, already have an engine and parts, or need help completing a project that has stalled, the first step is understanding the vehicle, its current condition and what you want it to do.
More Than an Engine Installation
An engine swap affects more than the engine bay. The transmission, electrical system, gearing and other drivetrain components must work with the new engine and with each other.
West Coast Hot Rods Inc. approaches the conversion as a complete system rather than installing one component without considering the rest of the vehicle.
Services may include:
-
LS, Duramax and other engine swaps
-
Transmission swaps and upgrades
-
Complete drivetrain conversions
-
Electrical integration and troubleshooting
-
Axle and gearing changes related to the conversion
-
Installing owner-supplied engines or parts
-
Correcting improperly installed components
-
Completing projects started by an owner or another shop

Recent work includes an LS swap in a 1963 Chevrolet Impala and a drivetrain conversion in a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle. We can also evaluate owner-supplied engines and parts, finish stalled projects, or correct work that was installed improperly.
Because every conversion is different, we need to review the vehicle, components and intended use before providing an accurate estimate.
